The purpose of this invention is to provide novel, simple and practical details of construction for chair, whereby a closablc cabinet is afforded in combination therewith, the reception and protection of garments or other articles, which convenient access 'n' i be haul as may be desired The invention consists in the novel construction and. combination of parts, as is hereinafter described and defined in the ep- Referenhc is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a p 't of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1 is s perspective view, showing the chair and cabinet, the latter heing open at the exposure of its interior; and. a sectional side view of the device, j the cabinet closed and articles of pieced therein.

air 5 is constructed with two similar lls e, {3, a bottom wall 6" and a front wall the front and bottom walls being ailirter'i ct their ends upon the respective side walls, thus producing a box-lilae structure.

' A seat-bocrd 7, is secured by its ends on the upper edges of the side walls 6 and located torwardly thereon, leaving a space at its reer edge and over the bottom Wall 6 for a completing portion 7 for the seat,-said portion having its forward transverse edge h ed upon the rear transverse edge of the i1 seat-hoard 7.

have invented a new and Improved.

Two front legs 8 extend down from the Patented Feb. 13, 3.353%.

l'completing a rectangular border-framefor the back. of the chair. 7 1

Two near, legs 8 project down at each si of the chair a short distance below the b tom wall 6; and as shown in Fig. 2, said bottom wall extends rearward beyond the legs 8.

Upon the rear and side edges of the cappiece 6 and rearward extension of thebottom wall 6', a rear wall 6* for a cabinet" is secured at its corresponding edges, the sidh edges of the cabinet wall being also secured to the rear edges of the side walls 6 and side bars 6".

A door 10,'of any suitable material and which may he upholstered on is hinged at one side edge upon each of the side bars 6, as shown at i, tnus providing a back for the chair, that also forms a front wall for the cabinet 5 when said door is closed.

The hinged seat the upper face at its free edge with an enlar'gement or projection, which enga es the outer faces of the doors 10, so that W ion the seat section is closed the doors 10 are held closed and cannot be opened until the said seat section is opened.

In the chamber formed below the hinged portion 7 of the chair-seat, headwear, footwear or other articles of Wear may be placed,

as shown in Fig. 2.

Within the cabinet a rack is provided'for the support of clothing or other articles as shown, the rack consists of upright strips a, having rrotches at intervals in their rear edges, which receive cross-bars b whereon garments may be hung, said cross-bars being adapted for change of position as-occasion may re one. 7

It wil be seen that the construction of th parts and their combination as hereinbefore described, provides a very commodious armchair and a closable cabinet, wherein garmerits may be conveniently placed and preserved from dust or from becoming 'mussed, as usually occurs if such clothing is laced 0111 the back of a chair when remove from t 1e formed below the removable seat, ailords a very convenient receptacle for holding hats, shoes, or other articles that may thus be stowed compactly, out of the -way, but readily accessible as occasion may require.

1t will be noted further that such an article of furniture may be placed in bedrooms for the front face,

section 7 is provided on person. Furthermore the chamber,-

vention may be made, as, for example, there ney be shelves (not shown) laced in the cabinet in lieu. of cross-bars, {UK the seat may be in one piece and cover or openthe entire top of the ch'embm' below it, hence I chiiin all such sligl'it alterations as fall Within the spirit and intent of the subjoined clairns.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure Patent:
